Notes of the Professor: This a comprehensive chapter on OD interventions that should be read next to Jex & Britt’s section on interventions (which is a bit less extensive). The section on third-party interventions does not need to receive a lot of attention because it will be discussed in another course.

Problem 4: Making work better

Job design

Professor note: Although this problem involves Positive Psychology topics, the first two articles are about job design in a more general way. They provide important background information in which to consider several positive psychology studies and interventions. One can only make work better when knowing which work-related factors are involved in designing a 'good job'.
